COVID-19 Analysis

The onset of novel coronavirus led to significant impact on all the industries, which also includes the automotive sector. The short term impact pertains to manufacturing units being shut down following the lockdown policy imposed by the governments. Production units are also faced with issues including lack of staff due to social distancing practice due to the pandemic. The impact of SARS-CoV-2 has led to showrooms being closed shut, in addition to a downfall in vehicle sales in every part of the world. The automotive industry is struggling in the light of economic crisis due to the COVID-19 outbreak, coupled with disruption in the supply chain network across the globe.

With that said, the automotive industry and related markets can expect some respite as a result of various mitigation measures being taken by governments in several regions. For instance, the European Union is backing the automotive industry with the Pandemic Emergency Purchase Program, which helps buy commercial papers and sovereign bonds from the commercial firms and member states while maintaining liquidity within the financial system. EU has also relaxed its regulations and is willing to expand the size of any asset purchase for extended period. With the advent of contingency plans across countries and financial institutions proposing relief plans, the automotive industry and in turn, the automotive axle market can make a strong comeback the COVID-19 impact.

Primary Boosters and Key Deterrents
